Weekend Recap

Before I start off–I just want to thank each and every one of you who commented on my last post. It means more than you will ever know to hear your kind, sweet & heartfelt words on something that is very difficult for me to discuss. As I make improvements in my lifestyle I will be re-visiting that post and keeping ya’ll updated. Just know that things are changing and improvements are starting to happen 🙂

What an amazing weekend I just had. I wish I could rewind and just press pause. A lot of time was spent with Tyler since my weekends here before I leave for training this summer are really winding down. Bittersweet-I want to go to training to get qualified but I don’t want to leave Tyler and my friends/family. Good thing it’s only 4 months.

Now for the weekend highlights!

Friday: I FINALLY convinced drug Tyler to the theatre to se Safe Haven! Turns out he actually liked it. I thought it was really good-but the book was better {isn’t it always?}

After the movie we did a lot of relaxing and cracked open a bottle of Cherry Wine from Door County–swoon.

Because my body has an internal alarm clock I woke up real early on Saturday while I let sleepyhead Tyler sleep in a bit longer. Filled my time reading the new Fitness with my favorite inspiration Jillian Michaels on the cover & some of my favorite coffee.

Once he finally got up we went for a nice workout. Followed by being bums. Eventually it was time to get ready for a dinner and some BADGER HOCKEY!

We opted for ‘real people’ seats instead of the student section and it was a good call. We were in the third tier but center ice and it was so nice to sit and enjoy the game and each others company without a bunch of {drunk} college students.

Badgers ended up winning 4-1 and advancing. ON WISCONSIN!

Sunday morning I woke up and did the Shamrock Shuffle 10k. Tyler didn’t do it because he didn’t want to spend $40 on it. But he did surprise me at mile 5 right before I scaled Mt Everest Observatory Hill.. it definitely helped me out.

I finished in 57:24. Which I’ll take being that my previous PR was 1:00.01 {yes my goal that day was to beat 1hr..just my luck!} But disappointed a little because I was on course for a sub 55min except the hills killed me on the way back.

Tyler and I got lunch at Cosi with his brother and just spent the rest of the day relaxing and doing some meal prep for the week. It was truly a GREAT weekend 🙂

Ohhh my gosh, I would have DIED if I got 1:00:01!! Seriously so close. BUT you killed it this time and great job on the PR!! I LOVED the biggest loser finale!! YAHOO!!! OH and sometimes..well like twice now..when I have run a race, my boyfriend will “gorilla run” with me..aka..he just runs it without paying!! He doesn’t get a bib..but hey they can’t stop him from running!?

AWE man sorry to hear about the PR. I can relate to this on a couple of levels, first ‘ve def have had some of those..if I had only run 1-2 seconds faster…ect. Second, people don’t understand while although you PRed if you think you were capable of more then it is bitter sweet. You’ll be under sub 55 next time :-). Anyways I’m glad the weekend went well and it’s always great to hear from ya!
